I've been trying to locate a copy of that book for a couple of weeks now without any success. Thanks so much for sharing it. This is like Christmas in November! A couple of days ago I managed to find a copy of Queen Rearing Simplified and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival.

Thanks again Michael.

You cannot move a grain of sand upon the beach that you do not effect the entire universe.

I havent read his method yet....havent gottan that far but when Mr. Smith said that grafting does not produce quality queens, I think about the quality of queens from Ol Sol, Purvis brothers, Honey run Apiaries, and Kona.

Jay Smith Literally "wrote the book" on grafting. He probably grafted more queens than anyone in history and probably advised more people on grafting than anyone. But he was always looking for "Better Queens". His "Queen Rearing Simplified" is one of the more quoted books on the grafting method. Someday, maybe I'll get time to type that one in...

Michael types it in and everyone prints it back out. That just doesn't seem right. So, in an effort to save a tree or two, I converted the text to Palm Reader format for anyone who has a Palm device and wants to carry the book around.
